Floppy drives - clean, fix, or replace?

Just wondering about floppy drives & how fragile or otherwise they are.

Do "cleaning disks" work?
Is the mechanism super-fragile, or is it like the head of a tape machine? (can I just give it a wipe/scrub to make it better?)

What is a safe way to maintain or repair an old and dusty disk drive?

Thanks guys =)
